I have had many instances of text editing producing strange errors over the past few days. Usually what happens is I try to make text bold, or delete text, and a large block of text will disappear. Another thing that happens is the spacebar will stop having any effect andallofmytextenterslikethis.

It is incredibly unpredictable so it is difficult to reproduce. I’m hoping that by posting this, someone else who is having the same problem will speak up.

Edit: I’ve found one thing that will bug it out every single time. This persists through any computer-related actions I can take. I literally cannot make text bold or it just deletes a random portion of text.

Edit 2: It is deleting the selected text and creating these empty spans that I can’t type into and if I try to delete them, it deletes the entire text box. It does this SPECIFICALLY when I highlight the term “Gen Ed” or “Complete Degree”. Other words/phrases can be highlighted and made bold with no problem.

Edit 3: After highlighting a different phrase and bolding/unbolding it, I was then able to bold the phrases I actually wanted to. BUT, the empty spans are still there and I still cannot delete them. This is happening at random times in seemingly random places in different projects.

Thanks so much for posting about this — definitely looks like odd behavior.

What sites are you seeing this issue occur in – only this project or multiple projects? Can you send me the site Read-Only links please?

It’s a bit difficult to see the exact behavior you’re experiencing and I’ve been unable to reproduce it. Here is a GIF showing the behavior as I see it on my end:

To clarify during that bit of testing I was using the text block — is this what you are using as well when you encountered the issue? Did you by chance copy/paste this content from another application before trying to apply the bold styles?

Could you also please let me know what browser version you’re using by sending me your information from this page?

Now it’s doing THIS. This is insane, dude. I make the change to the text - I publish - within the designer the text displays correctly - the change never actually publishes and upon refresh, it is the broken text again.
